I originally started buying these wipes a little over a year ago when I realized that my daughter has extremely delicate skin and gets rash after rash after rash.. Sometimes it even gets so irritated it starts bleeding. I tried every wipes under the sun, and got those because they say they are basically just water. Well, they are not the best of the best and they are pricey, but they work for my daughter as they are thin, soft and not full of chemicals. I believe my daughter might be allergic to the chemicals on some wipes and diapers, even the "organic" ones, but that has never been tested. All three of my daughters have skin issues with thick wipes so I much prefer the thin ones.

The reason I bought those was because the daycare I was forced to put my daughter into (I was in the military and had absolute zero choice when it came to daycare) DEMANDED wipes and refused to use cloth diapers because they considered it unsanitary (at home I use gentle cloths and water, and cloth diapers). And when babies had rashes they would use harsh, wet paper towels which made the rashes much worse, and then once the skin broke, they would send baby home and that had a major negative effect on one's military career.. So I bought those to save my daughter's skin as well as my sanity. They are really pricey to give to a daycare that doesn't care about wasting, but they were what my daughter needed, and for that, I am thankful that I found them. Also, the daycare refused to leave the wipes in their original packaging and had to open the package to place them in a wipe box, which caused them to dry faster. The packaging is fine, the opening flap doesn't stay sticky for the whole life of the package but the wipes don't dry up inside it.

One thing we noticed is that they are difficult to pull one at a time from the package, you often end up with 2 or 3 at a time.

Also, when placing those in a diaper bag, they need to be placed with the opening at the top. Otherwise, they make the other things in the bag wet.

Two of the packages I bought a year ago went through a big move from Missouri to New York state, and were in storage for months through the winter. I was afraid of using them after I got them out of storage, but they did not show any signs of mold and had no odor.

1.0 out of 5 starsUsed to be great wipes. Product got smaller, price stayed the same, now they cause irritation!

July 12, 2017

If I wrote this review when I first tried Water Wipes, it would be a five star review. In 2017 however, it's now a 1 star product and I no longer purchase these wipes.

The idea of Water Wipes is great, simple ingredients. Read a baby wipes package sometimes, I bet you can't pronounce half the ingredients on the list. Water Wipes appealed to our household with 2 IBS sufferers and no children due to allergies.

Water and Grape seed extract are the only ingredients. Originally the wipes were large, thick, and held up under pressure. We used the original wipes in the bathroom, spills in the car, spots on clothing, just about everything. We started using the wipes in March 2015. We've went through 4 cases leading up to April 2017.

When the latest case arrived the wipes package was smaller. The cost was the same however (which has always been a premium cost for wipes). We were determined they would be the same, durable wipes, only smaller. They weren't. The new wipes are thinner, not as durable, and smaller.

3 of the 12 packs had mold upon opening despite the lack of holes or damage in the packaging. We didn't store them any differently then usual. The most disturbing part of the new wipes (not the ones with mold) was that I experienced irritation from using Water Wipes for the first time ever. Not a full blown reaction, but still enough to discontinue using the wipes.

The manufacturer refunded the purchase price when I complained. But they fed me a line that parents wanted "less bulky wipe packages". I ASSUME what parents meant was smaller sized packs for travel, say 15-20 wipes a pack, like popular brands offer. There was no reason to change a great product.

We tried desperately to find a replacement going through the following brands; Seventh Generation, Caboo, Baby Ganics, Jackson Reece, and Happy Little Camper. They all had too many ingredients or caused irritation.

We decided to make our own. Natural paper towels, cut in half. One roll filled a BPA free shoe box sized plastic container. Add 2 tablespoons of organic grape seed extract. Push down on the stack to flatten them and squish out the excess grape seed oil. Add 4 tablespoons warm water and squish the stack down again, flip it over, squish it again. Put the lid on and they were ready to use. They stayed good for up to a week without mold.

Thanks Water Wipes for changing your product. We now make our own wipes for $7 for a case instead of $39.99 like you charge.

I've raved about these wipes to everyone! They were thick, moist, sturdy.My recent shipment was smaller, thinner wipes and the packaging tears really easily causing the wipes to dry out.Hope they revert to the original wipes.

The company said they'd changed packaging due to complaints about it being bulky . . .I've never heard anyone complain about them being bulky.

CONTAINS CHEMICALS!Don't get super... these are not the same wipes, they are fakes all around! These wipes contain chloride and are not chemical free, they are missing all the seals and the ingredients list isn't the same. Please review my pictures before you get scammed too! (Doesn't even deserve a 1 star rating but I had to put something to submit this.)

Yep, the reviewers who said these are crap are totally right. I figured that there must have been some user error involved, but I've stored the wipes in a dark area at a constant 66 degrees. So far, 2 of the 4 packages have been mold filled. Do not purchase. The photo doesn't show well, but it's all mold. Gross!

I wish I read the reviews instead of just seeing the amount of stars rated and I also wish I had done my research before purchasing. These contain .002% Benzalkolium chloride which is clearly why these “water wipes” are not labeled chemical free. The reason I buy these are to avoids chemicals and I pay a little extra to have just the 2 ingredients of real water wipes. I’m really disappointed and I purchased the bulk pack of 720 wipes because I love water wipes! I will now no longer purchase in bulk these “water wipes” on amazon. It worries me that these are being sold and people who do have serious skin conditions are using these and could have a reaction to the small amount of chloride. I’m glad my kid did not have an allergic reaction but I have listed the differences in the real wipes I purchased from target and the ones I ordered here. The top are the ones purchased from target and the ones below it are from the box I purchased through amazon.

I'm horrified!! My daughter has had a terrible diaper rash for months! After going to multiple doctor appointments with out any success of it clearing we went to a dermatologist to find out it was a bad fungus! I have been using this large package of water wipes I purchased last year and I opened them up to put into a new wipe dispenser to find that the bottom of the wipes are covered in green mold! Could this have been where this fungus came from?

These wipes are so clean and natural that I use them for everything now and not just for my 1 year old daughter!!! My daughter kept suffering from chemical burns and allergic reactions to the fragrance and chemicals found in most wipes in store and I felt so guilty because I thought they were caused by a lack of cleanliness. After a doctors visit, I was told that she was sensitive to additives in most popular name brand baby wipes. I am so happy that I have found these! She no longer gets the painful red rashes that I once believed were "normal" diaper rashes. I feel much better knowing that my daughter is more comfortable now than she has ever been. Also, unlike most "Natural" wipes they don't have that chemical-like smell or heaviness. These are so refreshing and wet that I also use them for makeup removal and facial cleansing. I highly recommend these and will order for as long as I am wearing make-up and changing diapers!

I love the idea but the wipes are WAY too small and slippery to do anything. I'm not even exaggerating... It took me about 10-15 wipes to clean a poop because of how ridiculously thin they were. I now have a case and only use these wipes for pee or for wiping hands. The honest ones are only a little better and i think I'll just stick to the costco ones, which can clean a poop with only 2 or 3 wipes. It cuts down on waste and frustration. I really wanted to use these because of cleaner ingredients but it's just really not worth the anger i feel when trying to use these 😬

I have ordered these through subscribe and save for over a year now and the wipes I received this most recent shipment were much smaller -the whole size of the package and wipe we're not the same as previous orders. I cancelled my subscription. They may not even be water wipes? They actually smell funny.
